Responsibilities As a business intelligence analyst, you will typically be responsible for: Reviewing and improving data collation processes. Assessing the validity and accuracy of data collected. Meeting with external and internal stakeholders to find aspects of the business that could benefit from intelligence analysis. Keeping up to date on laws and policies concerning data collection and processing. Utilising data processing software and researching new software packages.

The role can be stressful and challenging. However, it is a rewarding role for the right candidates who feel comfortable handling quantitative data; many business analysts report positively on their work-life balance. You may need to travel between local, regional, and international sites within the organisation. The demand for business intelligence analysts is growing in the UK; over the next decade, it has been forecasted that there will be 284,100 new roles. Competition for analyst roles is high, and they don't typically tend to be entry-level positions. Qualifications Most business intelligence analysts hold a bachelor's degree or higher in business intelligence, data science, business administration, economics, or a relevant computer science field. Many employers indicate a preference towards candidates who have a solid foundation in mathematics and statistics, and some will strongly favour candidates with an MBA in business administration. However, master's degrees aren't always required if the candidate holds professional certifications or sufficient work experience. Ideally, your educational background, in addition to your work experience and sense of business acumen, should prove proficiency in programming and advanced database interrogation.

As with many technical roles, the career prospects for business intelligence analysts are incredibly promising. There is no shortage of pathways for specialisation and advancement once experience has been gained and skills have been demonstrated. Areas in which BI analysts can specialise include marketing analytics, healthcare analytics, and financial analytics. In addition to progressing into senior, manager, lead and strategic roles, BI analysts can consider careers in data science, business intelligence consultancy, or becoming a business intelligence architect, director of analytics, product manager, or chief data officer. These career paths reflect the increasing importance of data-driven decision-making in business and the diverse opportunities available for people skilled in business intelligence and analytics. Employers Business Intelligence Analysts are employed across a wide range of sectors. Some of the main employers include: Healthcare, including the NHS and private healthcare providers.
